Why should my exchange, network or facility be listed in PeeringDB?

  • Helps establish new peering more efficiently, with all information easy to

find in one place

  • Find other network's peering contact and connection info
  • Find interconnection facility and IXP info
  • A PeeringDB record is required by many networks to peer
  • Can be used for automation to generate router configurations
  • Initial configuration to setup peering quickly
  • Update configuration if maximum prefixes change
